Abstract (en)

A tape block (39) and take-up reel assembly (10, 40, 41) for use in a non-continuous cartridge based magnetic tape transport system (2). The take-up reel (10, 40, 41) assembly includes a leader tape (40) and a leader block (41). The tape block connection features and the leader block receiving features allow for a connection to be established therebetween as a result of orienting the tape block (39) and leader block (41) from a pre-connective orientation to a pre-connective mated orientation. These orientations are primarily achieved by moving the cartridge (41) into the tape transport system (2) and by winding the take-up reel assembly (10, 40, 41). <IMAGE>
